On one side of the coin is a “Srivatsa” symbol. This symbol is of ancient India origin, and was widely used by different religions to enhance the significance of the power of certain gods & goddesses. It was the original symbol of the mother goddess Yakshi or Sirima Devata. Srivatsa connotes house of “Sri” or temple, while Yakshi is the goddess of Fertility, Wealth, and Good luck. Within the Srivatsa are 8 dots, around a central shaft, representing Buddha and his eight disciples. On the other side of the coin is the Symbol of Harmony. The symbol is 2 stylized triangles touching at their corner, one on top of the other. The joining of two triangles on their points is the direct representation of the “unity of the opposites” theory. The place where these triangles meet is called “Bindu”, or a tiniest spot, which is the most basic or simplest form of existence. No force can ever break, split or separate it. It has no beginning or end. Two forces resting on such a tiny Bindu looks so fragile but it is the most exalted and permanent.
